As far as I know, HTTP measurements are off for users because of the
risk of using Atlas for dDoS (a single request can trigger a lot of
work on the server, unlike ICMP echo requests) and the legal/political
risk for the probe hosters if some user wants to test
<http://www.hotdicks.com/> and the hoster happens to live in Saudi
Arabia.

I believe you have to ask directly the RIPE NCC <atlas at ripe.net>.
